Abstract
This chapter includes (1) Occipital artery arising from the carotid bulb, (2) Occipital artery arising from the cervical internal carotid artery, (3) Ascending pharyngeal artery arising from the internal carotid artery, and (4) Persistent stapedial artery (Middle meningeal artery arising from the petrous internal carotid artery). There are 10 figures.
Before catheterization to these arteries, recognition of their anomalous origin is important to prevent technical failures and complications.
